OPINION: It’s not only about the starting amount, says the regulator – arguing the point with two different case studies.

Simon Letch

In both reports, the cut-off point for SMSFs being competitive with APRA funds on either a cost or performance basis is $200,000. Below this number, they fall by the wayside. So, it seems fair to assume that $200,000 has become the de facto threshold to establish an SMSF – and potential trustees would be well advised to keep this figure in mind.

With this profile, ASIC believes they have the interest, willingness and time to actively manage their SMSF trustee responsibilities, as well as having a strong surplus cash flow. The couple appreciates that specialist knowledge is required to manage their diversified investment portfolio, and therefore may need to engage their adviser on an ongoing basis.

Why this controversial prison firm's $69 million Nauru asylum seeker deal is under scrutinyThe auditor-general may investigate a $69 million four-month government contract given to a private prison company facing serious allegations overseas. ooh look... more taxpayer money funding criminal corporates it seems... JEChalmers are you happy with this sort of expenditure on the budget... imaging how many social housing projects that could have provided the needy 👀 A year ago, friendlyjordies looked into various companies the previous gov awarded multi-million $ contracts to for overseas asylum seeker camps. Hope the auditor-general looks at all these, as Australia seems to have gifted lots of $ to these companies for little work. ICACnow the then-minister needs to be jailed. When will we ever see actual consequences for blatant illegality by elected officials in this country? another investigation & report does nothing, absolutely nothing - it's just a waste of time and money
